Description lol, ' portraits & figures ' category

If any of you know of the 'secret rooms' in chamber 17, you might remember the three photo portraits arranged in a heart shape, and each photo having a companion cube taped over the face. There are so many theories about the cube and Chell's origins and Aperture Science's past. . .

I have my own small, and quite dark theory about the 'companion' cubes. To save you a bunch of reading, here it is in a nutshell:

The companion cubes have some sort of brain data file of people who did live at one time.

Here's why

The companion cube is obviously marked much differently than the weighted storage cube, and Glados seems to also know they are very different.

The three photos look like professional portraits, so we can presume they were important figures; perhaps even scientists or people who were some part of Aperture Science. (the cube taped on the calendar, however might have been a result of psychological insanty.)

In the battle against Glados, she mentions she has your brain data backed-up on file in case anything happens to you.

Glados seems to enjoy trying to kill you during the battle, and she may seem apathetic when you incenerate your companion cube, but what if it was for her own entertainment and she was quietly laughing inside?

And SINCE she has brain data on file, she can create as many companion cubes as she wants. ("You incinerated your companion cube more quickly than any other test subject. Congratulations.")

Hm?

Oh, and again, this is NOT Chell, it be O+ Luka. I had a plot in mind, but I'd rather not. Instead, I simply drew this.

O+ Luka ish be (C) ~alikatt91

Portal and related are (C) ValvE

Wow, very interesting concept 8D I love the theories you make up :3 They actually make sense, unlike most of the others.

*kicks self*Must play this game already >>..XDD; Escpecially after the ideas above about boxes with brain data and stuff. : D;

Anywho, the shading is nicely laid out in the way you have that aura like outline around her. The box for a face is also rather humorous and/or creepily unsettling if you overthink about it like I did XD;; Anyway, Nice job. ^^

Yes, you must! I admit I haven't played it, but I've watched gameplay vids! *lamelame*

Thank ya! In fact, a lot of Aperture Science's past is mysterious and the stuff found in the secret rooms is REALLY unsettling.

The fact that the incinerator is called the "Emergency Intelligence Incinerator" makes your crazy theory more believable.

Oh yeah! The actual name of the incinerator totally slipped my mind. . . Indeed I be crazy.

Wow great picture! I like the shading and the drawn pieces of tape, it all really makes this look nice and detailed. BTW I can't help it, even with a companion cube over her face she sure looks like one hot momma. XD

P.S: I didn't know the chamber had a number, you sure you're not getting it mixed up with City 17?

No, in Portal all the levels take place in the same building. Chamber is a pretty good term. Are you sure you're not getting it mixed up with the Half Life games? I love this drawing!

^^ Thanks!

lol, you can see her face in a past deviation if you can't remember.

And I'm positive I'm not getting anything mixed up. Right before every chamber in Portal there is a huge sign with huge numbers on it and little icons on it that suggest to the dangers of the level. Suprisingly it's hard to miss, but it's also quite easy to ignore.

Oh well yeah I know that! I mis-read what you wrote, it sounded to me like you were suggesting the whole building you play in is called chamber 17.
